When I Say I Don’t Want To F*ck: A Demisexual Manifesto

When I say I don’t want to fuck,
I mean,
I want to crawl inside your ribcage
and build a nest against your heart.I mean,
I want to taste your brain
slowly
savoring the flavor of your mind.
I mean,
I want you to become the ocean
and me to become the earth,
so that my gravity pulls you back to me
again and again and again.

When I say, I don’t want to fuck,
I mean,
physical bodies can’t contain my desires.
I mean,
I want to dive into your energy field and
feel what you feel and know what you know.
I mean,
I want to see me the way that you see me.

When I say, I don’t want to fuck,
I mean,
our blood and bones would distract from my ultimate goal.
